Could-a-water-box-help-reforest-the-world_1
It collects any amount of water -- from inches of rainfall to minute droplets of condensation -- and delivers it slowly and steadily. Just 3 inches of rainfall per year is enough to keep the box's water supply replenished. It can also be screwed into the ground, both to prevent theft and to secure it to sloping or rocky land. "We can use the box to reforest California, and we can use it to restore our water tables to safer levels again," he said.
